The review
On paper, IGHWA (Np527) is a strong bet if you want Tuxedo for less.
Anau Store lists 3 of the 9 notes in Tuxedo's pyramid — patchouli, vanilla and musk. What it does not list: lavender, bergamot, orris and vetiver; and it adds mandarin, rose and violet leaves of its own.
Strength: eau de parfum, on a par with most originals.
At $50 per 100ml it costs 77% less than Tuxedo — the 3rd cheapest of 11 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Anau Store publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on lavender and bergamot, turns to orris, vetiver and patchouli, and settles into Tonka Bean, vanilla and woody notes. That is the brief IGHWA (Np527) is working from.
